CEO and Board Chair Commentary

Timothy T. O'Dell, President and CEO, commented: "Our Business model with Boutique delivery continues to resonate with Business Owners and Entrepreneurs located in the metro markets we serve. Over the past 12–15 months, we have successfully doubled the size of our Commercial Banking teams, adding experienced Talent mostly coming to us from Regional Banks. The additions of this top Commercial Banking talent has enabled us to continue shifting our business mix toward Commercial and Industrial ("C&I"), capturing quality new full service relationships.

To help offset the pressure on Net Interest Margin ("NIM") from rising Deposit costs, we are leaning more heavily into SBA loans and other higher yielding earning assets. In addition, we have a number of initiatives underway during 2023 to expand Fee Income revenues, including Swap fee income, along with introducing new Cash Management products and services along with a new and competitive Business Credit Card Program.

We are protecting as well as expanding our core Deposit base, having particular success with increasing our Deposits from not for profits and local Municipalities.

Our Credit Quality remains pristine, as we have maintained our disciplines and focus on high quality customers and borrowers.

We expect our new HQ location, which combines two (2) existing Columbus area locations, will enhance both efficiency and Teamwork.

Our previous long experiences operating in volatile rate environments, prepared us to remain nimble while sticking to our proven business disciplines. We see much opportunity to add quality new business relationships in this new year.

Our Best is yet Ahead!"

Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added: "Our Bank and Team have proven our ability to maintain strong performance during both changing and varying economic backdrops. Recently, we successfully navigated Covid and the residential mortgage industry contraction. Currently, the industry is challenged by rapidly rising interest rates. We are well experienced and confident our Leadership is up to the challenge."

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 totaled $7.3 million and decreased $1.3 million, or 15.4%, compared to $8.6 million for the prior quarter.  The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $570,000 decrease in impairment of property and equipment, a $494,000 decrease in data processing expense and a $298,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits. The decrease in impairment of property and equipment was related to an impairment booked in the third quarter 2022 for the pending sale of our headquarters building in Worthington as we prepared to move our headquarters office to New Albany, Ohio. The decrease in data processing expense was primarily related one-time charges for the conversion of our core processing system during the third quarter of 2022. 

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 increased $477,000, or 7.0%, compared to $6.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.  The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $297,000 increase in FDIC premiums and a $276,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits.

Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (effective tax rate of 20.8%), compared to $1.0 million for the prior quarter (effective tax rate of 19.4%) and $1.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 (effective tax rate of 19.6%).
